Matt Olsen: February 2009 Archives

We're setting up the first Fantasy Factor Fan League. We'll ask YOU, the fans, to shoot us a quick email at matthewolsen81@yahoo.com if you'd like to be apart of the league and take on Ricky and myself (as long as you don't mind a little friendly trash talk).

Once a week we'll post the league's progress and standings, while having a little bit of fun along the way.

Here are the details...

- First and foremost, we're holding a live draft on Sunday, March 15 at 8 p.m. You can always auto-draft your team, but I'd advise you only sign up if you can be there.

- We're getting as many into in the league as we can - 20. That may sound like a lot but I'm playing in a 10 team AL-only league this year, so it's pretty much the same thing. It should be a fun challenge for everyone.

With Tim Duncan out of the lineup for the second straight game, the French import exploded for 39 points in a big win over the Trailblazers last night. Parker may be the best point guard in the league when it comes to playing in the paint. He's fearless driving to the basket and is one of the more under appreciated players in the Association.

Keep riding him until Timmy comes back because with Michael Finley and Matt Bonner the only other healthy options, TP will need to do some damage.

We're kicking off our coverage by taking a look at the 30 franchises around MLB and giving you the Top 5 fantasy prospects from each team. These are the names you'll hear on draft day as you construct the fantasy baseball roster you'll be stuck with until the end of Summer.

Along the way we'll provide player rankings, in-depth analysis, injury updates, and everything else you'll need to dominate in 2009.

So, without further ado, here are the Top 5 Baltimore Orioles you'll want to know on draft day:

In between his constant whining to officials and rolling eyes, Tim Duncan can still find ways to get it done. On a night when LeBron James goes off for 47 and Stephen Jackson chips in 35, how could Duncan possibly be deserving of the Player of the Night award?
